Opening windows

Thanks for all the code, danpost! It certainly looks interesting. (And I am curious how the code for the scenario looks like). There is only one thing missing for the windows: the windows should be OUTSIDE the world window. I am now not even certain that this is possible in Greenfoot. Thanks! Karl

Most of the code was given above. We could give the ControlPanel object the ability to collapse and expand. And the Greenfoot window could be made large enough to give separation between the play area and the panels, essentially allowing them to be outside the play area.

OK, thanks. I guess I stumbled across a limitation of Greenfoot. I was under the impression that the entire Java was possible to use. Does anybody know if it is possible to use Greenfoot in Netbeans? Cheers, Karl

I think you've misunderstood something. You can use Swing with Greenfoot, it's just very difficult to do it right. That's arguably more of a limitation of Swing than it is of Greenfoot.
